After seeing all this, Meng Zhou naturally would not go out with the other party even if he died.

Because the other party's trick also indirectly confirms one thing, that is, in this miscellaneous courtyard, he is safe for the time being.

As for what he said about asking for spirit stones or something, it was just a small means.

As far as he knows, one of the easiest ways to keep people at a distance from him is to borrow a large amount of money from others, and he goes one step further and directly states that if he does not borrow, he will never pay it back in the future.

Because if what he expected is not bad, this guy will change the Fa to approach him in the future, to harass himself, and disturb his cultivation.

Then he will add a threshold for this possibility in advance, a normal person will not come again, if he still does not give up, wouldn't he take the initiative to find out that he is abnormal?

This can somewhat increase the difficulty for the other party to get close to you.

Regarding the other party's use of such a method to deceive himself into going out, Meng Zhou also had some conjectures in his heart.

Since Zhou Qiang obtained the Blood Spell Book, his mind has become more and more paranoid and distorted, and he has also collected a lot of filthy materials during this period.

For unrelated people, no one will focus on a small handyman for a long time, and he will not find that he is abnormal during that time.

But for the person who secretly gave the blood spell book to Zhou Qiang, Zhou Qiang's actions must all be under the gaze of the other party, like a mirror.

The other party was even able to deduce from the progress of his collection of materials what stage his "death ritual" had progressed to, and when it would start, the other party probably knew in his mind.

Now the result is that he is not as dead as the other party understands, and his temperament has changed greatly, and the existence of the secret trader will naturally not turn a blind eye.

These are all approximate speculations.

Meng Zhou still had two doubts in his heart.

The first is how the other party locked Zhou Qiang and targeted him, who was mediocre in all aspects.

He had a guess in his heart, because Xia Qing completely let go of him, the seeds of resentment were already in his heart, and the ability of the blood spell book could further stimulate it, so was it possible that the other party could find a target with resentment and a special suitability for cultivation and stimulation in the vast crowd through certain means?

Of course, this is just speculation, and he has no real evidence to corroborate.

The second doubt is whether the other party knows that the object of Zhou Qiang's resentment is Xia Qing, the true inheritance of Qingxuanzong.

Is it possible that Xia Qing is his real target, and Zhou Qiang, who is just a small handyman, is just a poison that he carefully prepared for Xia Qing?

It may be, and it may be, but again, this is just speculation without any substantiation.

Meng Zhou carefully combed through these thoughts in his heart, then shook his head and properly sealed them in his heart.

Whether it is or not, he does not intend to dwell on these issues for the time being.

For him now, improving himself quickly is the only last word.

Everything else may be false, but hard work will not, and for Meng Zhou, it is even more so.

His efforts soon paid off handsomely.

Under his unremitting hard work, Deadwood Changchun Gong finally advanced from the beginning to the [Chucheng].

The improvement of this fundamental practice has brought about an all-round change for him.

Through the panel information, it can be intuitively seen that this breakthrough has added five years to his lifespan, and the upper limit of life expectancy has increased from 57 years to 62 years.

With the breakthrough of the fundamental exercises, the speed of refining the spiritual energy has become faster, but with the continuous accumulation of negative energy in the body, the speed has slowed down a lot, which is reflected in the overall cultivation efficiency.

Prior to that, the gain for each round of practice was +1.5 for progress, and +4.5 for three rounds a day.

And now, he can reap a +2.5 increase in progress every round, and three rounds a day is +7.5, plus the sufficient supply of spiritual food, the daily cultivation progress has reached an exaggerated +11.5.

The only problem was that the duration of each round of cultivation had increased, and after three rounds a day, his rest time was further shortened.

In the long run, this will not work, his string will be broken, but he will be able to hold on for a short time.

He planned to go all out and hold out at least until the end of the second layer of Qi training.

Anyway, with his current progress, it won't be long.

In addition, the exercise proficiency was originally +1 per round of cultivation, but with the breakthrough of this fundamental exercise, the effect was reduced by one-third, and three rounds a day could only get +2 exercise proficiency.

It is unlikely that you will be able to go further in a short period of time.

However, in general, Meng Zhou was already very satisfied with the series of changes brought about by this breakthrough in the fundamental exercises.

……

[Real name: Meng Zhou]

[Lifespan: 51/62 years] (+5 years)

[Realm: Qi Cultivation 2nd Floor: 32/100]

[Exercise: Dead Wood Changchun Achievement: 2/100]

【Divine Power: Life and Death Together】

[Skill: Xiaoyun and Rain Technique: 24/100, Cultivation Technique: 47/100, Golden Mangshu Entry: 13/100]

【Status:Sub-health】

……

As soon as you start your efforts, on the sixth day after the breakthrough of the fundamental exercises, that is, on the eleventh day after the cultivation is broken through the second layer of Qi training.

Late at night.

As the last round of cultivation came to an end, Meng Zhou felt a slight abnormality in his body for a moment, as if a smoothly driving vehicle had climbed a hill that was not too steep, and then continued to maintain a steady drive at a new height.

"Finally a breakthrough!"

Cultivation broke through from the second layer of Qi cultivation to the third layer of Qi training, but Meng Zhou didn't have time to appreciate the changes after this breakthrough, but instead he breathed a long sigh of relief like putting down a boulder.

Then, the endless feeling of fatigue overwhelmed him like a flood that burst the embankment, Meng Zhou was powerless to resist, and he did not resist, as soon as his eyes were closed, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, it was the next afternoon.

Meng Zhou, who had finally slept well, stretched his waist to get up, cooked and ate slowly, and waited for a pot of spiritual tea to drink, and then began to pay attention to the changes after his cultivation broke through the third layer of Qi cultivation.

……

"Well, two more years to live."

Meng Zhou seems to have discovered a hidden pattern, the lifespan increased by the two cultivation breakthroughs is the same, while the lifespan brought by the two times of the Dead Wood Changchun Gong is more than the first.

……

The cultivation progress of each round also dropped from +2.5 to +2.

……

Meng Zhou, who had originally planned to adjust his cultivation rhythm after breaking through the third layer of Qi cultivation, hesitated slightly, if he changed from three rounds of daily cultivation to two rounds a day, his cultivation progress would fall back to single digits, and he was really reluctant to experience a higher speed.

However, Meng Zhou quickly came back to his senses.

Now, twenty-five days have passed since the meeting with Deacon Wong, that is, after five days, his vacation is over.

And in the course of five days, it was impossible for him to go any further.

At the same time, his time should be arranged after five days, it is not up to him to have the final say, he has to obey Deacon Huang's arrangement for him.
